Master Door Switch has no ground.

I am working on a 2009 Ranger that has no ground to the driver side power door functions, ei. windows, locks and power mirrors. Everything works when i provide ground with my power probe but i can’t figure where to go from here. Any advice or suggestions..?

If anyone is in Canada and is willing to call me, i can provide my phone number. I am pretty desperate.

The main ground wire is behind driver side kick panel, a body ground
Its wire runs thru the rubber tube in the door jamb
This rubber tube is a fairly common place for wires to break inside since drivers door is opened and close way more than passenger side

You can run a new wire thru this tube and splice it to main ground in the door part and then ground the other end
When you remove kink panel and door panel you can see where the wires go thru the rubber tube
Should currently be a Black/blue striped ground wire, as the main ground for drivers door devices

Broken ground wire in drivers door should also disable passenger side window as well
